29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor (5f) in May but his form has nosedived, last of seven in 5f Sandown handicap in July; back from a break now with a bit to prove. |

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Windsor (5f, good to firm) in May and second at Bath (5f, firm) next time; the track may not have suited at Brighton last time and he could bounce back with a big run. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Defied this mark with an emphatic win over C&D in May but he's been up and down since and was disappointing at Sandown last time; overall record is now 2-33 and he comes with risks attached. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Seems to handle most ground and the return to 5f looks to be in his favour, but a record of 2-32 (1-20 on turf) raises doubts. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who's done most winning over 5f and is generally kept to that trip; soft ground likely behind a below-par effort last time and should do better back on the AW but there's little wiggle room off this mark. |
16/1 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who returned to winning form under Chloe Lyons at Newmarket (5f, good to firm; has won on soft) last month, but has twice been held off this mark since; needs a bit more; stable also runs Adalida. |
10/1 |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In-form front-runner who has two wins, a second and two thirds to his name in five runs here; on career-high mark, though, having been put up 5lb for his Newmarket win early in the month under 7lb claimer Chloe Lyons. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Conditions are no problem but he's on a long losing streak and has not made an impact in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 1-34 on turf and others are preferred. |
7/1 |

The most exposed of these and losing run goes back a long way; not in much form of late. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had course form earlier in career but his losing run goes back more than three years and he hasn't been in much form since last autumn, including for new yard; usually wears headgear but not today. |

Bath winner in May (5f, good); plenty of sound runs since, including when runner-up at Goodwood last time (5f, soft); contender. |

2nd 6 (6) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Reliable sprinter who has been placed several times since her Bath win in May; back to that winning mark now and Oisin Murphy is booked; solid claims. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Triple course winner who made all when scoring at Windsor (6f) and Brighton (5.3f) last month; well held in his hat-trick bid here last week but he couldn't dominate in that Class 5 event and remains well handicapped on old form; looks interesting on this drop back back in grade and he's versatile ground-wise. |
3/1 |

1st 7 (9) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two 6f wins on this course (good to firm) in 2025, with varying tactics; in good form and although he had the run of the race to a certain extent when holding Dreambird Dolly at Windsor (5f, good) last time he remains with some handicapping scope despite going back up 3lb. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Quite prolific on the AW but sole turf win was back in August 2024 and this is his first course start; below par since running well on sand in April and he has it to prove despite dropping in the weights. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 (10) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last three wins have come over 5f but he has won three times over 6f, including around here; held lately, but he drops to this level for the first time in over two years and is 4-9 in 0-60 handicaps or lower; interesting. |
7/1 |
|
11th 11 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner who went close at Lingfield (5f) in March and ran well there over 6f in April, finishing third of five (beaten a length); never got involved there 28 days ago but he could go well returned to 6f. |
9/1 |
